Hawaiian Quilt Design
The Back Story:
Ku‘u Aloha Me Pi‘iana (My Ever Increasing Love)
Hawaii’s quilts capture the essence of the islands’ overwhelming natural beauty as well as its people’s legendary grace and charm. Please join us in celebrating an intimate, personal and spiritual relationship with the natural world commemorating this unique, Hawaiian quilt design that represents the Orchid or Butterfly tree of the Bauhinia family.
Hawaiian quilts are traditionally made as gifts for family members or close friends. Quilt-making, above all else, is an act of love. The quiltmaker concentrates on loving thoughts of the recipient – her child, grandchild, husband, or neighbor – as she works.
This particular quilt was made for the quiltmaker’s oldest daughter, Ku‘ualoha. The artist states “This quilt expresses my initial amazement and awe (of the beautiful flowering tree) that is so much like the love for your first born.”
